"I'm so (expletive) bummed about canceling these shows," the rock icon said in a statement on his website.

"The tour had been going great and we were really looking forward to these last few gigs. We're hoping everyone will be patient and we'll look forward to seeing them at the shows next year."

The four No More Tours 2 shows that will be rescheduled in 2019 are Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif.; Mattress Firm Amphitheatre in Chula Vista; the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles; and MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Tickets for the four shows will be honored for the rescheduled dates. Refunds are also available at point of purchase.

"People keep asking me when I'm retiring," Osbourne said last November when the tour was announced.

"This will be my final world tour, but I can't say I won't do some shows here and there."
